Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Esophageal cancer
My younger brother was diagnosed with this cancer. Dr Sanchez and his staff were wonderful every step of the way. He removed his esophagus and rebuilt him as new one. Unfortunately my brothers cancer kept coming back in different spots. And he lost his battle after a long courageous fight. But they stood by my brother and my family through it all . How I wish things would have worked out for my brother . If love could have saved him he would have been cured .

Run don’t walk from this surgeon
Telehealth
This surgeon is just likes to cut! I had a Nissen done with this surgeon and I wish I never did it. It went wrong. I begged him to help me and fix the problem several times. All he did 7 weeks later was dilate my throat. I said what if this doesn’t work. His response was “ what else do you want me to do, you will have to see you GI don’t for antidepressants .” My husband and I were shocked. Well it didn’t work at all. Went to my GI doc and he refused to give me an antidepressant said that’s not the answer and also said his office called me a problem patient. I called his office several times begging for help. I got hung up on and he never called me back for weeks!! So I went to someone higher than him for help and now the chief surgeon took over my case. This surgeon only called me because he got wind of it. His answer was “ I will cut again and unwrap “ meanwhile I was told by many other doctors that is your last resort. And he blames his staff for everything run run run!!!

He listens and anwers questions.
The office is clean, well organized, staff are very professional and put you at ease. This was my second appointment with Dr. Villa Sanchez. On each visit he and his P.A. explained what all test results were and what needed further exploration. On each appointment I left feeling a true sense of trust. I would recommend him to anyone and I am thankful that I have been blessed with him.

Dedicated to lung and esophageal cancer treatment
Dr. Villa Sanchez treated my father and my family with such caring and expertise during the treatment of his lung cancer. It was nice to know that this high level of care was available close to home.
